ACase of Poisoning
A doctor came to see a family of three persons. Half an hour before the attack of disease all of them had eaten some food which was not fresh.
All the members of the family had nausea and violent pains in the stomach. They also vomited. At the examination the doctor diagnosed food poisoning. He instituted gastric lavage with large amounts of boiled water. Two patients were put in bed and given some medicine.
The doctor applied heating pans to their feet. They felt immediate relief and could get up.
The third patient was taken to the hospital in an ambulance because he had persistent nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and prostration. A strict diet, bed regimen and a proper therapy helped the patient. In a week he was discharged from the hospital in a good condition.
